Chapter 636 Preemptive Attack

The formation of the Anti-Rebellion Squad only means that we are going to expect player attacks soon enough. I am already prepared for their attacks but what if they start attacking while we logged out just now? Should we just remain in the game until the quest is over? No, that can't do. If they are still forming their squadrons to fight, then the only method left is to destroy them before they get strong enough to fight back.

Knowing what their next plan is in this forum, I decided to call it a day and sleep. There's no class tomorrow which means I can just go and focus on the game all day. I have to maximize the maximum output and put a stop to this f*cking quest as soon as possible.

The next day, I did the same thing I keep on doing every day before going back to my room and logging in to the game. The sooner I finish the quest, the sooner I can face off against Kazuki and mop his face to the ground.

[Welcome back, Bladeheart]

The moment I returned to the game, I went ahead to Alain's office. He is still currently doing his work on the papers he needed to finish to keep the village running.

"Alain, I got some info about the Tactician and his allies forming the Anti-Rebellion Squad, with its members being part of the Pioneers who came along with us when we arrived here in the continent. The longer we have no move, we will be losing the advantage soon enough."

"Looks like you also received the news huh? Yes. I just received it just now. I am currently studying what kind of plans I should go on to weaken them. Knowing you pioneers, I can easily see that they might easily annihilate us without any problem if we don't strike first. Therefore, I have 10 assignments here that are needed to be done. I don't know if this will help cripple their strength but this is a start on making sure that their preparations will just remain in preparations and they can't continue it to fruition. But since these missions require time and a bit of effort, I suggest you take these quests one step at a time."

"I will take one and finish it as quickly as possible then pick up another quest," I told Alain as I pick the first quest that appeared on my list and accepted it as my quest.

"Don't rush it. One step at a time."

I didn't say anything and rush out of the village. The quest is to ambush a cargo vessel that is about to be sent to the church. There will be three players that will be escorting the cargo which means I am not just going to face NPCs here but also players as well.

Depending on which players are escorting the cargo, it's either going to be a pain or an easy task. I didn't bother to summon anyone on my team and just went ahead and start running with all my strength. The Cargo is still in the process of being delivered which is why I can just go and ambush them on the road.

As I followed the path that the quest is giving me, I soon found the cargo being transported. Just like in the report, there are three players and there are 5 guards who are all NPCs, and one coachman who is also armed.

The five NPCs are not a problem. As for the three guys, I can easily tell that they just acquired those gears they have and they don't have any remarkable weapons and they don't seem to be that much strong. I think they are new pioneers as I don't remember them being part of the Sandurk Expedition.

Still, I don't want to get too complacent just because they are just nobodies I have never seen or heard of. Whoever they are, if they are part of the anti-rebellion squad, then they are still enemies I needed to dispose of. No need for mercy, time to get rid of the dirt and deal with them.

Because they are all encircled around the cargo, I have to pick and destroy them as fast as I can before destroying the cargo. And since I am actually speedrunning this, time to use some bullets so that these guys can't parry anything.

BANG BANG BANG!

In just three shots, three players died. It looks like they couldn't handle the firepower of the Pain Delivery after all but it is understandable if even strong enemies with lots of HP would die in one or two bullets. How about those who got shot in the head? They go straight to the Cathedral for resurrection, not knowing what happened.

As for the NPCs, I immediately dispose of them but not via Pain Delivery as that would be too brutal and they would burst to pieces, I just used my Versatile Weapon to deal with them. Because they didn't get to do any actions, they were easily disposed of. After the coachman died, I opened the cargo and inspected what was inside. To my surprise, the cargo was both angels and fallen tied up, gagged, and blindfolded while being put inside a container like they were some baggage.

I looked around first and pulled a [Mass Teleport Scroll] out of the inventory and teleported back to the base with the "cargo."

"Guys, can you give me a hand here? We have something to do with this cargo."

Everyone who heard me started gathering around.

"What is the cargo young man? Food? Shouldn't you just head straight to the storage if it was just that?" one of the elders who also heard me call for helpers approached.

"Unfortunately, this isn't even food, but something else."

As I removed the cover that is covering the whole cargo, it revealed the slaves that are inside the cargo boxes. Causing shock to everyone.

"Damn, this is big news, I will call the leader here," one of the young men immediately headed to Alain's office to give the signal about what I uncovered.

​ Some of the men called their wives and some called the medics along to give a hand. We went ahead and get the slaves one by one out of the cargo while some are removing their bindings. It was so cruel enough that the slaves that were freed from the bindings still are not in the condition to move. The medics examined them to see whether they are sick or not.

"They are too fatigued and needed food and water as soon as possible. Men, can you guys prepare a shelter that can house these people? We need to lay them down on the beds and let them recover their strength. immediately."

I can't believe what I witnessed though, so the cargos I have been escorting in the past timeline are actually slaves? If so, what will happen to them once they arrived at the main church? Seeing how the Pope himself inspects the cargo in the past timeline, what was supposed to happen to the content of the cargo? This is so messed up.
